Service and Mission

"Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least
​brothers of mine, you did for me." ​Matthew 25

Hoosier Catholics have the opportunity to engage in several service opportunities throughout the year, among them are:

• Area nursing homes
• Habitat for Humanity and Society of St. Vincent de Paul service days
• St. Paul Catholic Center Christmas Sharing Program
• Clean-up days at St. Paul's

St. Paul Catholic Center partners with FOCUS Missions to provide Winter Break, Spring Break, and Summer Mission Trip opportunities to all of our students. Click the image below to find out more about FOCUS Missions.

We are always happy to welcome and train new liturgical ministers. If you are interested in becoming a lector, extraordinary minister of Holy Communion, altar server, or a sacristan, please contact Cheyenne Johnson. 

Outreach Communion Ministry: The Outreach Communion Ministry is the shining light of Christ to all our sick, home-bound, and dying parishioners and their families.  Volunteers make calls at hospitals, retirement centers, and nursing homes, and visit our home-bound parishioners.  You may volunteer for one hour a month, or more, depending on your availability. Training is provided and the schedule is flexible. Contact Marianne Warthan at mariannewarthan@gmail.com or Deacon Ron Reimer at deaconron@hoosiercatholic.org for more information.

If you are interested in getting involved in any of our music ministries, please email our music director, Dr. Tim Gregson. 

 

• Cantors: Cantors, who lead the congregation in song, need both a pleasing voice and confidence to stand and lead the congregation. Cantors rehearse with the accompanist before the service they are to cantor.  Typically, they are assigned a mass two to three times each month. Cantors must attend cantor training as required in order to be scheduled.

• Instrumentalists: Instrumentalists of various levels of ability are welcome to share their talents, keeping in mind that a certain level of proficiency is necessary. Instrumentalists rehearse with the accompanist and cantor before the service.

• College Choir: College students make up this choir which serves weekly at the 5:30 p.m. Mass during the academic year from late August through early May. The choir, which often sings contemporary liturgical music, gathers for warm-ups and rehearsal at 4:30 on Sunday afternoon. No audition required.
